The Forum considered an update by the Director of Environment and Transport updating Members on the timetable of the works. The report was introduced by Mr Crossland with a copy filed with the minutes.
Mr Crossland reported that the traffic management was working very well.
Mr Crossland advised Members that there will be a site visit arranged later in the contract and they were welcome to attend. . Mr Crossland asked Members to note
1 D:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\3\0\4\AI00046403\$c1hjizsq.doc 4
that a full Health and Safety Induction will be necessary which takes one hour. If any Members are interested please contact Sue Dann or Mr Crossland. Mr Crossland explained that the Lubbesthorpe Bridle Road had been closed for safety reasons and the Balfour Beatty Public Liaison Officer is dealing with communications on this. Information can be found by following the web link on the update. Cllr G Welsh CC asked if the Bridge Road is available as a footpath. Mr Crossland stated he will ask officers to investigate and report back to Cllr Welsh.
Cllr S Coar DC stated that the temporary traffic lights on Beggars Lane seem to take a long time to change and that he had seen a couple of near misses where signs have blown onto the carriageway. Cllr Coar asked if the signs could be looked at and maybe sand-bagged. Mr Holt advised he would get officers to look into this.
Mr Crossland stated with regard to temporary traffic lights, LCC are changing from using the standard NRSWA permit scheme to a Leicestershire scheme which will specify restrictions should no work be taking place for certain periods.
Cllr L Phillimore DC asked a question about the bridge installation at Lubbesthorpe and how the traffic is to be managed. Mr Crossland said that he would take this back for officers to investigate details and report back.
RECOMMENDATIONS
i) That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted, and ii) that officers contact Cllr Phillimore regarding how the traffic is going to be managed when the bridge is installed.
b) Leicester North West Major Transport Project (A50)
The Forum considered an update by the Director of Environment and Transport updating Members on the works. The report was introduced by Mr Crossland with a copy filed with the minutes.
Mr Crossland reported that the work is currently on target and the closure of Gynsill Lane worked well. Gynsill Lane will be closed again over half term and the week following and the A50 will be down to a single lane after half term which will be particularly difficult but unfortunately there is no other option. Mr Crossland stated that disruption over Christmas will be kept to a minimum.
Cllr J Dickinson CC stated that she found it difficult anyway leaving County Hall at approximately 5pm and asked whether traffic lights were going to be installed on the County Hall roundabout. Mr Crossland stated that signalling was part of the work and this should improve traffic entering and exiting County Hall.
137. PRESENTATIONS OF PETITIONS UNDER STANDING ORDER 36
There were no current petitions.
138. PETITION RESPONSE: REQUEST TO REDUCE VEHICLE PARKING ON SANDOWN ROAD, GLENFIELD
The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport updating Members on the response to a petition requesting the reduction of vehicle parking on Sandown Road, Glenfield. The report was introduced by Mr Wright with a copy filed with the minutes.
2 D:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\3\0\4\AI00046403\$c1hjizsq.doc 5
Mr Wright took Members through the report and the investigation which was carried out leading to the report. Mr Wright explained that the issues with either parking restrictions or installing bollards would displace the parking problem to Piers Road.
Mr Wright stated that as there were no recorded accidents on the junction the only recommendations to put forward are to make no changes or wait for any third party funding which can be sourced to installed bollards or implement at Traffic Regulation Order.
Cllr Phillimore and Cllr Dickinson both asked about the 2-6 spaces where the taxi company park their taxis and the possibility of writing to them explaining the issues. Mr Crossland said that he was happy to discuss this with Blaby District Council Action
RECOMMENDATIONS
i) That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted, and ii) to discuss the issues with the taxi company parking with Blaby District Council.
139. PETITION RESPONSE: REQUEST TO ADDRESS SAFETY CONCERNS IN RESPECT OF PARKING AND CROSSING AT THE BANK, COUNTESTHORPE
The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport updating Members on the response to a petition requesting to address safety concerns in respect of parking and crossing at the Bank, Countesthorpe. The report was introduced by Mr Wright with a copy filed with the minutes.
The Chairman advised Members that Mrs Garratt had initially wanted to attend the Forum but unfortunately was unable to make it but had commented through email to the Chair.
Mr Wright took Members through the report and went through the background to the scheme that took place in this area. The scheme was approved by Parish and Local Councillors but when the scheme took place it was not as ideal as it had been hoped.
Mr Wright took Members through the issues that the local residents had and the remedial work that had been carried out to rectify some of these issues which unfortunately had to be delayed due to needing a road closure. The work is due to be completed on 23 rd September.
The Chairman made comment that he had received a couple of complaints from residents about the workmanship of the works. Mr Wright stated that following these recent works there are still marks on the road where the previous lining had been burnt off. Mr Wright explained that in terms of the workmanship it is all okay and the marks on the carriageway will fade with time.
Cllr A Clifford DC stated that a number of residents had made complaints about the quality and the look of the work with the mismatched lines and he is concerned about the visual impact to visitors to the area. Cllr Clifford stated that he had agreed to residents that he would feed back to this forum on their concerns and most of them felt it was an absolute mess.
Cllr Phillimore stated that he had concerns that the first bay is the disabled bay and is very near to a blind corner and asked if this was appropriate as it would mean reversing out onto oncoming traffic.
Mr Wright reiterated that the workmanship is okay but appreciates that it is visually not good but will mellow down in time, especially with the winter weather. Mr Wright
3 D:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\3\0\4\AI00046403\$c1hjizsq.doc 6
stated that the disabled bay was chosen to be there for a number of reasons, one of which the end bay has a dropped kerb for access and if it was at the other end it would be further away from the shops. He also commented that visibility of vehicles using the disabled space was better than other spaces due to its location at the end.
Mr Crossland stated that there is another option and that is to surface dress and put it back to parallel parking if that is what Members prefer but a decision will have to be made. Mr Crossland also stated that the burnt off lines will fade. The Chairman stated that he did not want to make a decision today but would wait and see. Cllr G Welsh CC stated that as a regular user of these parking spaces he thinks that anything that can be done to support the shops is worthwhile.
Mr Crossland suggested that Members wait and see how it weathers until next spring before making a decision. The Chairman requested an item on this for the next agenda. Mr Crossland agreed to ask officers to bring an update report to the next meeting. The report could include some photos of the bays.
Cllr Clifford asked if finances would still be available in spring to be able to make changes if necessary. Mr Crossland confirmed that he was happy to keep an eye on progress and look at surface treatment if necessary.
RECOMMENDATIONS
i) That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted, and ii) that officers monitor the progress of the appearance of the bays and the burnt off lines and how they fade and bring a report to the next meeting, together with photos.
140. 2015/16 MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAMMES – INFORMATION ITEM
Members noted the report.
Cllr E F White CC wanted to pass on his thanks from residents for the excellent work on slurry sealing on Brookfield in Sharnford.
Cllr Phillimore also wanted his thanks to be passed on for the excellent work on Dog and Gun Lane.

19 th JANUARY 2016
CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT
The Bank, Countesthorpe
1. This report gives a further update on the issues raised following the petition presented to the Highway Forum on 30 th June 2015 and then reported on at last meeting of the Forum on 22 nd September 2015.
2. The petition raised concerns regarding the changes made along The Bank, Countesthorpe.
3. Officers have been monitoring the use of the parking bays at The Bank Countesthorpe, together with looking into the visual appearance of the road markings.
4. The scheme was developed to increase parking spaces for this area, as limited parking spaces are available throughout Countesthorpe.
5. It is acknowledged that the alterations made to the original bay markings that require those markings to be burnt off, did lead to an untidy visual appearance. The four pictures below within the report are current photographs showing the visual difference on the road surface with the new and old road markings and the occupancy of the parking spaces. The photos were taken at 11.00am Wednesday 6th January 2016
6. It was noted that parking spaces are being well used during business hours, while some who were parking were walking towards Central Street, indicating a value to surrounding businesses.
7. The overall scheme is currently being reviewed by Countesthorpe Parish Council who are to make a final recommendation on the schemes layout.
8. In summary, it is our view that the appearances of the bays are not excessively detrimental to the street scape appearance, and within time the old roadmarkings will fade further.
9. We did not witness and have not witnessed since the change to the parking bays any concerns over the safety of vehicles exiting out of the parking spaces. We have to appreciate that at times due care has to be taken if visibility is hindered when reversing out.
10. A loss of seven parking spaces will result if the decision by the Countesthorpe Parish Council is to return the parking spaces back to parallel parking.
11. Please note that we would not address any future requests for parking within the business area of Countesthorpe if the decision is to return the parking to parallel 10
12. Any surface dressing work undertaken is to picked up as and when the overall condition of the road surface warranted it. This could be a number of years.

11 Agenda Item 6b LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR BLABY
19 TH JANUARY 2016
CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT
Network Rail
Purpose
1. To provide an update on recent developments regarding the proposed enhancement works programme for the Midland Mainline in Leicestershire.
Background
2. In June 2015, the Secretary of State for Transport announced that plans to electrify the Midland Main Line would be ‘paused’ whilst the Network Rail programme of enhancements was reviewed.
3. In July 2015 Sir Peter Hendy was appointed chair of Network Rail, with his first task to review Rail’s plans for the five years between 2014-2019 (known as Control Period 5, or CP5).
4. On 29 September 2015, Sir Peter Hendy reported his initial findings to the Secretary of State for Transport, and on 30 September 2015, the Secretary of State for Transport confirmed that both the TransPennine and Midland Mainline electrification schemes could be un-paused with immediate effect and 1 progressed with some urgency .
5. Subsequently, Sir Peter Hendy’s detailed findings and recommendations were 2 published in a report (abbreviated to, and known as, the Hendy Review .) in November 2015. As well as the Midland Mainline Electrification, the report confirms that other improvements will be undertaken that will enable faster longer distance journeys between Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield and London. An additional long distance train per hour running between London and Kettering, along with additional track between Bedford and Kettering will allow additional express services to and from stations north of Kettering. In addition, more seats on trains will help to address capacity and meet growing demand.

2 Report from Sir Peter Hendy to the Secretary of State for Transport on the replanning of Network Rail's Investment Programme: www.networkrail.co.uk/Hendy-review/
12
Current situation
6. Where previously the Midland Mainline Electrification programme was to be completed by 2019, the programme is now expected to extend to 2024. Network Rail has yet to release a detailed programme of works through Leicestershire, but current correspondence with Network Rail suggests that they are focused on developing their programme. It is anticipated that early parts of this programme will be revealed in the first few months of 2016.
What does this mean for Blaby
7. Looking forward in time, a small number of road bridges in neighbouring districts where road bridges cross the Midland Mainline enhancements programme, are expected to undergo reconstruction, jack decking or track lowering. The works will require road closures of six months or more at some point between late 2016, and 2024 and those closures may impact on Blaby as alternative routes for diversion traffic.
8. Additional features such as safety fencing alongside the railway, possible new power transformers next to the railway, and new power cables leading to these transformers, could all lead to potential roadworks and road closures along the rail route boundaries and LCC are seeking future updates on this element of electrification.
Next Steps
9. Leicestershire County Council officers will work closely with Network Rail, to ensure that these roadworks and road closures required as part of the Midland Mainline Electrification do not clash with other works on the highway network - or each other – and help to plan appropriate diversion routes to minimise disruption. Furthermore, Leicestershire County Council, in its capacity as Local Highway Authority, will check proposed designs to ensure the highway network is restored as close to its original layout as feasible, and to seek enhancements where appropriate and possible.

CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT
Taxi Parking on Sandown Road, Glenfield
1. At the last meeting of this Highway Forum, a request was made by Cllrs Dickinson and Phillimore for County Officers to speak to District Officers about the issue of taxi parking on Sandown Road, Glenfield.
2. Following the meeting, Blaby District Council confirmed that as licensing authority they have no enforcement powers over where taxis park when not in use. However, it has identified the taxi drivers in question and approached them with an informal request for them to be considerate when parking vehicles in the area.
3. Local Civil Enforcement Officers have been made aware of the situation.
